I can, pantalaimon. Scatology is really cool, industrial stuff. Musick to Play in the Dark is unlike anything else and is my favorite. Lots of people love The Horse Rotovator, which is strange kinda industrial. And How To Destroy Angels is some really great ambient stuff but not as good as Musick to Play in the Dark--I'd get both volumes of that first. |

Get the rare ones first before they're gone... then get the rest ;) |
||||||||

Yah--Musick to Play in the Dark is pretty limited--older stuff has been reprinted and is easier to find. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok thats great, but... ermm what are the rare ones?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
their best-known and "classic" album is Love's Secret Domain... (just thought this had to be mentioned. :)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there were 4 EPs, one for each season, which were released only during the season... (Moon's Milk, Bee Stings, Amethyst Deceivers and North) i think these are quite rare, but i heard they were going to be re-released together as "Moon's Milk (in four phases)"... and btw i heard this place were selling it at cheaper prices: http://www.soleilmoon.com/ (got this from another board :)) |

thanks all, i've just ordered the 2 volumes of Musick to Play in the Dark. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Those are two of their best in my opinion.. Vol.II especially. I'd be interested in hearing your impressions once you get a chance to listen to them. |
||||||||
|

|
|
ok, i'll let you know when i get them... if they have them in stock it should be in the next few days. my only previous experience of Coil is the remixes they did for NIN and a couple of downloaded tracks. Hope they live up to my expectations. |
||||||||
|

I hope so, pantalaimon! I love them, I've heard everything by Coil--I have most stuff on CD-R. I don't know what I'm missing, but it's not much. Some collaborations, I think. If you like Trent's stuff like a warm place or reptile, I bet Musick to Play in the Dark will float your boat. It's very well-done stuff. |

Here are some other tracks I definitely recommend downloading by Coil: Heartworms Ostia (the death of Pasolini) Panic (probably the most well-known of any of their stuff) I don't want to be the one and Muur, a 20-minute masterpiece! |

get Horse Rotorvator first, its the best to start on I think, if you like that one get Scatology after. hey Uzim, love your pic :) Lain is God... |
||||||||

WHOA!!!! the coil/nin remixes aren't really anything like their regular releases...except that firt remix on the "fixed" EP, has a sample of coil's "protection" track...you're going to be in for a surprise! but it will be a pleasent suprise! |
||||||||
|

Their black sun mix of Depeche Mode's "Rush" is really great, too! |
||||||||

thanks Glitch! ^^ |

I really don't think Horse Rotorvator or Scatology would be good places to start.. Especially for a cute little Asian girl. I would recommend getting 'Coil Presents: Black Light District - A Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room' first. |

Time Machines is a wonderful set of four chemically induced pieces to facilitate travel.. ... |
||||||||

Yes, that's another one of my favorites.. It's queer how the music on that record actually affects you in accordance with the statements they've made about it's intended effects. According to John Balance, the premise behind this release is that hallucinogens act as time machines - they can conjure up histories of yourself and/or act as predictors of the future. In any case, they can remove you from "temporal reality". These tracks on this disc are not only formulas for hallucinogens, but have been tested, retested, rejected, et cetera. I've never experienced anything so transcedental in music before. Welcome to the board Wormsine. |

By the way, 'Moons Milk(In Four Phases)' was released about a month or two ago as a doubledisc. It contains all the material from the EPs as well as a live version of 'Amethyst Deceivers' performed sometime during their last tour. |

Youll love Coil. They are awsome..... Been listening to them for a while and now have like.... 7 albums/eps and stuff by them... more coming... Coil is great. |
||||||||

thanks for the welcome, Cabbog. i've got all Coil albums thru last year. their musical evolution is quite interesting, the early stuff being sharp, harsh, while the later stuff flows with more complex melody. the control of sound to stimulate emotion/energy is simply amazing. another really good one is the Protection EP....the last 3 tracks dv8 greatly from Protection, but they are the true stars being evolving minimal organic creations. |

Yes, Glimpse, Crawling Spirit, and pHILM are all very strange and fascinating songs.. Balance credits their work as ElpH to the influence of an extraterrestrial being of some sort. Do you have Musick to Play in the Dark Vol.II? 'Batwings (A Limnal Hymn)' is one of the most breathtaking songs I've ever heard. Have you read this interview? http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/142_coil.shtml |

Hey Pantalaimon, what do you think of the two Moon Musicks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't recommend a CD to get, however i really like their sound. during the Fragility tour NIN played quite a bit of Coil before the show started. i'm gonna save this thread in my favourites and when i'm ready to buy i'll look at some of these suggestions! =0) |
